Active Directory PDNS

Today’s advanced threats increasingly use DNS to communicate with malicious C2 infrastructure to encrypt or exfiltrate data, infect other machines, wage botnet attacks, and more.

ThreatSTOP's Protective DNS (PDNS) solutions for Windows Server block dangerous and unwanted DNS queries, prevent communication with malicious infrastructure, and stop attacks early before damage is done.

Active Directory is ubiquitous, and ThreatSTOP can turn AD servers into Protective DNS enforcement points with a simple cloud service, meaning no new software or hardware is required, and the solution can be installed and start blocking threats in under 30 minutes.

  1. Create security policies in the ThreatSTOP portal to protect against specific threat types, geographic locations, and user-defined domains or wildcards
  2. Configure your Windows (DNS) Server 2016+ to run the ThreatSTOP service
  3. Policies are continuously updated with live threat intelligence data curated from global authoritative sources and ThreatSTOP’s research team
  4. View detailed information about the threats blocked on your network and identify infected client machines using advanced web-based reporting
